My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Mary Shelley is a sweet, friendly rabbit who is full of curiosity! She loves to explore and will let you know when she's happy by doing epic binkies. (If you aren't familiar with the term, a "binky is when a rabbit jumps and twists high in the air when they're very content and excited.) When she isn't doing acrobatics and sprinting around the house, she'll flop down on her side with her feet out and ask for pets.


Mary was in a foster home recently, and here's what they had to share about their time with her: "Mary Shelley is extremely friendly and seems very confident. She wants lots of affection and would probably really benefit from having a bunny partner. She has a ton of energy and has morning and night zoomies. I think she gets frustrated when she doesn't have a big space to run around. She enjoys having a zoom around the room and then collapsing. She enjoys chewing on/tossing paper towel rolls. She likes to sploot out like a dog with her back legs straight behind her after she's had a binky session. She stands on her very tiptoes trying to get your attention if you come near. She spends a lot of time periscoping up at you. She is very engaged with people and will instantly lay down for pets. She seemed very tolerant of our infant crying (no scared behaviors) but we didn't let them interact. Mary is very sweet but she consistently nips at your legs and lunges if you come into her area to clean or pet her. It is unclear if she's territorial or she just wants to play and doesn't know quite how to express herself. She will also full speed run into you / jump at you which is cute but also startling. She tries to dig her way out of her x-pen. She is extremely social and would thrive with someone who has a lot of time to spend with her!


Mary Shelley is spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated against RHDV2 (vaccine needs to be administered annually). House Rabbit Society recommends all rabbits see a rabbit-savvy veterinarian once a year.
